quick note for those who might say, ‘well, GOP runs WH/Congress so that’s where the focus should be.’

when Dems ran WH/Congress for few yrs under Obama, NYT and rest of DC press was OBSESSED w/ GOP Congressional attacks on Dems.

and pundits wonder why Dems aren’t ‘getting their message out’

IOW, the consistent ‘Dems don’t bother to get their message out’ bullshit is just that: bullshit. It’s remarkably easy to say they don’t have a message when you don’t give them any fucking room to make one, and ignore them when they do….
